The tuner scene is extremely small it seems down here. Does anyone know a reputable spot to order parts and install/dyno around here?

 

Order online, and any competent mechanic can do virtually anything mechanical to an Evo X except the ACD/SST or clutch (reqs dealership computers)

to a mechanic, it's just a 4 cylinder turbo and less complicated than a school bus

as for tuning, you're going to need to know one of the reputable e-tuners and a computer

 

If you can't find any local tuners I would highly suggest a reputable e-tuner.

 

If you don't mind the drive up to North Carolina you can check out SpecOps Motorsports.

It's a 2 hour drive. http://www.specopsmotorsports.com/

They're also a sponsor on EvoM.
